Chicken is one of the most versatile—and beloved—meats on the market. From barbecue chicken in the summer to a hearty chicken potpie in the middle of winter, it's an ingredient that's far from boring. When shopping for chicken, be sure to choose an organic and humanely raised product whenever possible. In addition to supporting sustainable farms, you'll usually find that the quality of this meat is better, too. Here, we're offering even more ways to experiment with the ever-popular white meat with our best stuffed chicken breast recipes.

One of our most adored iterations is the eastern European Chicken Kiev, pictured here. Our version involves making an herb butter with crushed garlic, tarragon, parsley, chives, and chervil. All of the ingredients are mixed together, chilled, and then stuffed into butterflied chicken breasts. The meat is then coated in panko breadcrumbs and pan-roasted until crisp. It's an incredibly fresh-tasting, juicy recipe that is a simple upgrade to the weeknight chicken dinner. Equally as impressive is our Walnut-Stuffed Chicken Roulades; chicken breasts are filled with a combination of mushrooms, spinach, garlic, and shallots, and then rolled and coated in finely ground walnuts, and baked. You could also try spicing up your dinner routine with our Pineapple-Stuffed Jerk Chicken. In this recipe, chicken breasts are filled with a pineapple-lime stuffing, rubbed with a spice blend that includes thyme, allspice, cayenne, and sugar, and broiled until fully cooked to create a satisfying meal.

Whether you make these on a weeknight or for a more special occasion, our stuffed chicken breast recipes are sure to impress.
